adoption of means.
The HERALD of Baltimore raises
the question whether cheap and
quick railroad facilities between
Baltimore and Annapolis will injure
the business Of this city The ques-
ton is best answered by another.
Has the business and population of
Wilmington, Chester. Germantown
or Norristown diminished since
they have had constant and cheap
railroad connection with Philadel-
phia? Or have Newark, Orange,
New Brunswick, Railway and other
New Jersey towns lost their trade
and people since they have had sim
liar connections with New York !?
Or the towns and villages around
Boston, have railroads destroyed
them or built them up ?
Wilmington has increased from
20, 900 to near $4,000 and has no
end of handsome stores. The same
may be said proportionately of the
other places named. Chester, a
former resident tells us, when its
first railroad was built to Philadel
phia, had few trains and inconyen-
lent hours aud its merchants charg-
ed the highest prices their few Gus
toners would stand. Another rail-
road was built and the public accom-
modated with cheap and frequent
trains. Now the two railroads have
more than they can carry, and
Chester is a large and fourishing
suburban town instead of the small
village it was. The same may be
said Of Newark, n. j., with its
wide streets and large and hand
some stores and so of every town VIC
name.
For forty years Annapolis has
kept the people it hasn't driven
away, from getting to Baltimore cas-
lily, and successfully discouraged
all increase Of residents from abroad.
Now let us try the other tack. Low
er or abolish our county-tax, kill
our barking dogs, and invite good
people to come and build homes here.
Let us have quick railroad commu-
nication with Baltimore, Washing
ton aud Hagerstown, and so invite
capital and enterprise, instead of
driving it away
Could we add to this a connec-
ton across the bay, down the PENN
sula to Salisbury, and SO have di-
rect lines to the Atlantic Ocean and
to Wilmington, Annapolis could re-
sumo her old position as CONNER
cial centre as we'll as the capital
o. the state.

THE SLEEPY DISEASE.
4 Singular Amlction Prevailing Among
Africa's Vegetable Eaters.

4 Singular Amlction Prevailing Among
Africa's Vegetable .Eatcrs.
An interesting description of the 'ssleepy
disease" peculiar to Africa, Is given in
the journal Of an African Cruiser" The
persons attacked by this singular malady
are those who take little exercise, and
live principally on vegetables, particular
ly cassada and rice. Some observer as
eribe 1t to cassada, which is supposed to
be strongly narcotic. Not improbably the
climate has much influence, the disease
being most prevalent in low and marshy
situations. Irresistible drowsiness con-
tinually weighs down the patient, who can
be kept awake only for the few moments
needful to take little food. When this
lethargy has lasted three or four months,
death comes-with a tread that the pa.
tient can not hear-and makes the slum.
ber but little more sound.
Ifound the aspect Of Queen Maumee's
beautiful granddaughter inconceivably
affecting. 1t was strange to see her so
quiet, in sleep from which it might be
supposed she would awake full OF life,
and yet to know that this was no refresh
ing slumber, but spell in which she was
fading away from the eyes that loved her.
This young girl was but fourteen years OF
age. With some difficulty she was
aroused, and awoke with frightened
cry-a strange and broken murm ur-as
I she were looking dimly out Of her
sleep, and knew not whether our figures
were real, or only the fantasies of a
dream. Her eyes were wild and CLASSY,
and she seemed to be in pain. While
awake, there was nervous twitchin g
about her mouth and in her fingers; but
being again extended on the mat, and left
20 herself, these symptoms of disquietuds
passed away, and she almost immedi-
ately sank again into the deep and heavy
slcep in which we found her. This poor,
doomed girl had been suffering-no, not
suffering, for except when forcibly
aroused. there appears to be no uneasi-
ness,-but she had been lingering two
months under this sleepy disease.

The young of all wild species OF
birds are fed by their parents chiefly
on animal food, even when they are
seed eaters when mature. They are
thus forced that the period of their
helplessness may be shortened, during
which they are liable to become the
prey of voracious enemies of many
sorts, both birds and quadrupeds being
fond of squads Take leaf out OF

does not yield an abundant supply Of

ABOUT STONE DRAINS.
Simple, and Yet Substantial, Way of Con-
structing Them.

A Simple, and Yet Substantial, Way of Con-
structing Them.
l have had some experience in drain
ing with stone and tile, and as far
Is my experience goes l would not
give one stone drain for any three OF
tiling, when they are properly put in.
A stone drain, in my estimation, has a
great deal more vent than tile, to re-
ceive the water along the top and sides,
and therefore | consider them far SUI
perior. The tile drain has not this adj
vantage, as they are small and joints
up pretty close so they can not receive
as much water as the stone drain.
Where there is natural spring flow
ing from one or two openings and run
ming over the land and causing it to b.
swampy, l think the tiling tirst-class
for this kind Of draining, but where
the ground is swampy and wet from
all sides, consider the stone ditch fal
ahead of any thing that can be sub
stituted.
I dig my ditch % inches wide on top.
81 feet deep, and taper off to 6 or Z
inches in the bottom. Then take small
dat stones and lay them on edge. three
Or four, according to thickness, along
side each other through. These stones
are from one inch thick to three inches.
then put from five to eight inches OF
broken stone on top of these, from the
size of walnut to the size of very
large potato, then cover with straw
and fill in on top of straw.
This prevents the earth from
crumbling or settling down be-
tween stones, and before the straw is
rotted the soil will be packed solid on
top of stones. Where the land is in
old sod one could cut the sod on top OF
ditch and lay it to one side and use il
instead of straw, by turning grass side
down; this will answer the purpose.
As to the depth of drains, the farmer
must use some Judgment. We would
not suppose that water will soak
through stiff clay soil as it would
through sandy loan; therefore the clay
does not require the bitches so deep.
So in my estimation the ditch in clay
soil can come nearer the surface and
with better results, and will never stop
up if put in on my own plan. My
bitches are all running nicely to-day
Ihave experienced some difficulty in
ditching where there was no solid bot
tom, and will tell how / overcame it.
I threw III lot of large stones till they
came up even with bottom of ditch.
This raised up considerable quantity
Of muck. l then took plank or inch
board and put in. pressing the muck on
top of the board; then got into ditch
and shoveled all the muck off Of plank.
This left nice solid bottom. Leave
plank in bottom and fill stone in as be-
fore and your ditch will never fail.
I forgot to mention that breaking
the. stone all up and throwing them in
ditch without placing them on edge
makes very good ditch and it will not
stop up. but l prefer the first plan. es-
pecially where there is not much fail.
Where there is a good fall would not
make much difference. tor, Ohie
Farmer;

1t is not good policy to dry hay to
brittleness before drawing it from the

Few effects are more beautiful and
striking than that produced by plant

the two are so similar. and yet their
general appearance is so dissimilar, that
they group nicely. They both blossom
about the same time.
